  • The episode could have been one of the few good episodes in season nine, but it gets disappointing at the end.

    Mrs. Garrison assigns her class a project where the boys and girls are paired up to raise eggs as "children" of their own. However, none of them realize that Garrison has a conspiracy behind this egg project. Things get strange once Garrison switches two groups so that both partners have the same gender so that one group is Wendy and BeBe and the other is Stan and Kyle. Garrison wants to prove to the governor of Colorado that same-sex couples cannot raise children so that same-sex marriage will be illegal in Colorado, and his former gay lover Mr. Slave cannot marry Big Gay Al.

    This is one of the many things that resulted from one of the many stupid things South Park has done over recent years. In the end of the fourth season, Garrison admitted he was gay, so SP Elementary fired him. He returned to teach fourth grade late in season six which was the worst season of SP. Earlier in the season, Garrison had sex-change operation to become a woman. Why, oh why would SP jump the shark with that? I remember when Garrison was a straight man in the early days of SP! Remember Mr. Hat? For those who don't know Mr. Hat, back in seasons one to four, when Garrison taught the boys' third grade class, Hat was the hand puppet that Garrison used as his ventriloquist assistant. The moments with Mr. Hat were much more laughable than the new South Park! It is so ironic here how Garrison would speak out against homosexuality here! Had SP not created "Fancy New Vagina", I would've given this episode 10.0. However, given that Garrison is a hypocritical homosexual, now I give it 5.0. Wait, Garrison had sex-change surgery, so now it is 4.0. Since the episode is stupid in general given all these happenings, and that [SPOILER] Garrison did not win [END SPOILER], I now give it 2.5. Hey, this episode is better than other bad season 9 episodes like "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow" or "Best Friends Forever". If you want to waste your time and screw your brain, watch this episode. If you want to watch good, funny South Park, watch anything except season 6, 9, or 10.moreless

    My Favorite episode ever. For one, Matt and Trey have announced that Stan will be gay when he growns up (apparently the male version of Ellen DeGeneres) and they continue to prove their point, whether intentionaly or not. Honestly, I think that when Stan and Kyle grow up, they would be a perfect couple. I mean, they\'re are so many signs! And this episode just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I love it! I just love it so much when something comes together like this, two best friends, growing up together and end up together. Its perfect! Yay, gotta love that StanxKyle!moreless

    This episode was truly great. I found it funny that they came up with idea that Stan could still be head-over-heels for Wendy - I mean, come on... but, that's alright. I have to tell that the ending just did it for me. While Stan was still in his "I-have-to-impress-Wendy" mood, Kyle's gay little scene (by which I mean, he turns away, and oh-so-concerned ask what Stan thinks about his hat) made me smile. Being a Stan/Kyle fangirl myself, I practically squealed when Mrs Garisson went "And how's our little gay couple, Stan and Kyle?" And now tell me they aren't trying to tell us something here...
    Well, in particular, it was just another interpretation of "give a bunch of kids an egg and see if they'll break it", but boy, was it original in its sorta way. The only bad thing about everything was that Stan was willing to ruin his friendship with Kyle rather than shove off Wendy. Oh well, it passed him.moreless

    Mrs. Garrison's "ex" plans to marry his new love as soon as the Governor signs the bill allowing gay marriage in Colorado. As Slave and Big Gay Al prepare to marry, the townspeople of South Park rally the Governor to outlaw gay marriage. In a fit of jealously, Mrs. Garrison develops his own case study using the kids to prove that same sex couples cannot care for a child. The boys are determined to get an "A" on their class assignment and Mrs. Garrison is just as committed to seeing they fail. Another excellent South Park episode. I give it a 9/10.moreless

    This is definitely in my Top 5 SP episodes. While I always preferred Mr. Garrison as a male, the script in this episode is on key and he acts just like he always does - getting very passionate about some subject for all the wrong reasons, this time gay marriage.

    The best parts of this episode were when Mrs. Garrison sang "Love Lost Long Ago".. my friends and I always sing that now. His voice is just so awful and the way he bursts into it randomly (and the kids all stare at him) is hilarious. The other great part is when he takes the picture of the egg to the assassin and there's like funny middle-eastern dramatic music playing in the background. Overall a strong episode.moreless

    • Follow That Car: The episode title is a spoof of "Follow That Car," a line commonly preceding chase scenes in many movies. There is even a scene in this episode where the kids are in a taxicab that is driving very erratically similar to movie chase scenes. Edit
    • Matthew Shepherd: Mrs. Garrison's 'fag drag' idea sounds similar to the murder of Matthew Shepard, which happened in Wyoming. Edit
